  • 0-5 Help Please!

    BW by BW . Oct 9, 2011 10:07 PM . Permalink

    Well, I'm about to be 0-5 - here's my team:

    QB - Brees
    WR - Roddy White
    WR - DeSean Jackson
    RB - McGahee
    RB - Jahvid Best
    TE - Scott Chandler
    Flex - Mario Manningham
    K - Matt Bryant
    D - Green Bay

    Bench:
    Peyton Hillis (bye week this week)
    Pierre Thomas
    Steven Jackson
    Santonio Holmes
    Mark Sanchez
    Joshua Cribbs (get return yards - use in flex sometimes)

    I'm looking to make some moves this week - trades, etc. - what would you do?

      The way i see it ,looks like your probly getting killed at running back. You may want to start there. When choosing your rb take into consideration how many balls he catches also.

      Man, I really don't see too many weaknesses, if you're bout to be 0-5, you have run into some EXTREMELY bad luck. You've got two studs at each position, and you can only play two guys at each, so damn.

      Just keep truckin, man, and chalk it up to just catching your opponents when they've had their BEST weeks. I can imagine that you've already had at least two weeks where you scored the SECOND-most points in your league, only to have played the team who scored the MOST points that week, am I right?

      This team actually looks pretty good. Could use a little at tight end, but I think you've just been unlucky so far.

        Yeah, I guess so - I've sat Best a week or two when he's scored like 25 points and played him weeks when he's scored only 6 points - yeah, been really unlucky. This is a league that I run - scoring isn't "traditional". QB's score big so Brees is my biggest scorer obviously. We get return yards too, so I've considered other receivers/returners because my WR's haven't produced at all really!

        Do Not Listen to this guy. Brees is a stud and with your scoring it seems he is even better. And do not drop Willis McGahee. He has been very good in Denver with Moreno banged up. Denver is riding the hot hand at RB and McGahee is that guy. With your RB situation he is worth a RB2 spot or the Flex

        Lemme clarify - QB's score huge! 1 point per 10 yards, and 6 points per td, and 0.5 per completion - HUGE! No way I'm trading Brees.

        I would consider trading Hillis - and did you just say a good qb? Have you seen the stats Brees is putting up?

      I'd look to upgrade RB. I'd probably hold onto Steven Jackson and try to ship Hillis and Best for an upgrade at RB.
